Stakeholders of Women's Reproductive Health
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: There are several stakeholders of women’s reproductive health. This presentation will introduce a case-study-based class activity on Indian women’s reproductive health that compares two types of information sources. Both sources relate to women’s health and wellbeing in India, but they present information in very different ways. One source uses statistics and broad demographic trends, while the other emphasizes personal experiences. By comparing these sources, students practice evaluating different kinds of evidence, identifying different types of authority, and recognizing which stakeholder perspectives are represented (or missing). In addition to these analyses, students develop a stakeholder web that shows how stakeholders are connected to one another. Based on students’ responses, they leave the activity with a better understanding of the stakeholders of women’s reproductive health and that different types of information sources serve different purposes.
